Background info - not for points Explanation: Ausgleichszahlung zum Abbau der Fehlsubventionierung im Wohnungswesen - bisher: Fehlbelegungsabgabe Fixed-price housing Flats let at low-price rents. Rents are supposed to just cover costs. The state paid part of the construction costs of these flats. People living with less than a certain threshold of income are entitled to a Sozialwohnung. If Sozialwohnungen are used for other purposes than those defined by law a penalty, the so-called Fehlbelegungsabgabe, has to be paid. http://www.mathematik.uni-ulm.de/gn/glossar/sozialwohnung.ht... |

misdirected subsidies (further info....) Explanation: Not for points, as both answers above should be useful, and I think the word "misdirected" is probably best here. I think you'll need to phrase as follows, with the name of the German law(s) in square parentheses after: "as set down in the German laws which deal with misdirected subsidies for social housing [name of German law]..." See the full details of the law below for further clarification. Reference: http://bundesrecht.juris.de/bundesrecht/afwog/index.html Reference: http://www.uni-oldenburg.de/~markobr/AFWoG.html |
